Your application already knows how to send mail through Amazon SES; NitroMTA lets it keep that code, change the endpoint and keys, and deliver from IP addresses you actually control. The engine answers a submission only after the message is committed to disk, so accepted mail survives a crash, a power cut, and even the loss of its host when the disk survives. Capture mode runs the whole engine locally and shows each message in a browser at port 9090 instead of sending it, which makes testing painless before any DNS exists. Out in production, new IPs warm up receiver by receiver from fifty messages a day, rising after clean days and backing off when complaints, bounces, or throttling climb. Each provider gets its own connection limits and cooldowns, hard bounces and spam complaints suppress the address automatically, and outgoing mail is DKIM-signed and sent over TLS with MTA-STS and DANE verified where published. Templates, identities, configuration sets, tenants, dedicated IPs, and SES-shaped events through an SNS subset cover the SES surface your tooling expects, and a CLI explains why any given message is still waiting.

Built as a developer-first alternative to SendGrid, Mailgun, and Postmark, Posta delivers a complete self-hosted email infrastructure platform handling both outbound delivery and inbound reception through a single HTTP API with official SDKs for Go, PHP, and Java. The Go backend processes email through Redis and Asynq with automatic retries, priority queues, and async delivery while PostgreSQL stores templates, contacts, campaigns, and delivery analytics. Outbound features include versioned multi-language templates with variable substitution and stylesheet inlining, bulk campaigns with subscriber targeting and A/B testing per-variant metrics, scheduled timezone-aware delivery with draft/paused/cancelled lifecycle states, email address verification checking syntax, MX records, disposable domains, and role accounts, plus web view links with signed expiring URLs and one-click unsubscribe headers. The built-in SMTP receiver with TLS handles inbound email at your domains, parses messages and attachments, scores spam, and forwards structured payloads to your application via HMAC-verified webhooks with real-time SSE notification streams. The Vue-based dashboard manages templates, SMTP server pools, domains, contacts, API keys, campaigns, and email logs with dark and light mode support while admin-level platform metrics expose delivery rate trends, bounce rate graphs, and latency percentiles alongside Prometheus integration and daily health reports. Deploy via Docker with PostgreSQL and Redis. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. Apache 2.0 licensed.
